As far as curses go, I find myself either experiencing every curse that comes through or missing each one. Oddly enough, I've been affected by every curse that involves... ah, gender reassignment or turning into animals. When I was here previously--I have no memory of the event, but I was able to locate my own notes from that time--the same sort of pattern held true.

Luke Valentine is a terrifying individual and a friend to Marishka. That can only be bad, really. Like attracts like, and Marishka is an insane, homicidal vampire.

Unfortunately, I was too busy creating and grading exams to do much in the way of research. I would be highly interested in what information you managed to glean from the event, however!
